London Toy Fair: From farting footballs to fussy eating dolls here are the Mirror's top 10 toys of 2014

Each year companies battle to use the latest technology and toy innovation to attract youngsters to buy their products

Children are in for a treat this year as new toys ranging from farting footballs to fussy eating baby dolls are launched.

The London Toy Fair returns for its 61st year and welcomes whole host of futuristic gadgets and toys for 2014.

With everything from smart watches and interactive dolls that refuse food, to the first car racing system to use a smartphone or tablet to wirelessly manage races, it's a child's dream world.

One of the more unusual items is a Dennis the Menace and Gnasher Farting Football - which does exactly what it says on the tin.

Each year toy creators are tasked with creating new technologies to outdo those in the previous fair.

Organisers of the show, the British Toy and Hobby Association (BTHA), said in a statement: "Technology played a major role within the top toy lists in 2013 and this is expected to continue into 2014 with augmented reality technology a driving force behind this growth."
